When you pull the lid off an already stinking garbage pail, it shouldn't be a surprise that it stinks even more.
That's what seems to be the case with James O'Keefe's latest undercover video targeting Blackrock, the financial services giant which is famed for its investments in big corporations that have suddenly been forced to embrace DEI and ESG wokester policies.
BREAKING: @BlackRock Recruiter Who “Decides People’s Fate” Spills Info on Company’s World Impact
“It’s not who the president is- it’s who’s controlling the wallet of the president”
“You got $10K? You can buy a senator"

It turns out that a corporate recruiter for the company, named Serge Varnay, is bragging about buying politicians, with senators going for a cheapie $10,000 a pop.
Is it time to look at those senators who've taken the Blackrock dime?
According to OpenSecrets.org, citing the 2022 cycle, 20 Democrat senators and senate candidates got a grand total of $303,837, and 18 Republican senators and senate candidates got $168,250 from Blackrock, both the company itself, and its individual employees.
Here are the big fish:
Chuck Schumer, who pocketed $113,950 from the financial giant, including the nice neat $10,000 from Blackrock itself.
Lisa Murkowski, who took $46,400, again including that nice neat $10,000 from Blackrock itself, and the rest from employees of Blackrock.

Well I “SAF” didn’t get any of it.
No surprises to me.
.
Ask the FBI. They already know who took what and when and have been using the information.
I find myself pondering whether Tim Scott was aware of receiving a sum of $5650 from Blackrock.
What percentage does this amount represent when taking into account all the money given to Tim Scott?
Additionally, what is the average amount received and what are the regulations concerning this matter?
Is $10,000 donation to Senator a red flag?
Black Rock donates to campaigns. It doesn’t mean they bought the congressmen. I am unimpressed.
Our politicians take money from anyone that wants to donate. Period!
The list of totally worthless POS political Whooores.
They don’t care who knows.
To paraphrase GC, They are in The Club, and you ain’t.
“Ask the FBI.”
Wrong 3-letter agency. It’s the CIA that learned by the 70s that it could set up private companies which could make a profit and then those companies’ profits could fund the CIA’s black budget so that its illegal operations would never have to be submitted to Congressional oversight.
Blackrock looks exactly like you would expect the evolution of those CIA proprietary companies to look like, 50 years later.
Tagline.
This is no surprise to anyone who read Peter Schweizer’s book, Red Handed.
Biden is a fake President. He is just an empty suit, a Chauncey Gardner character like that old movie, except this is real life and not a comedy. No one is laughing. Our government is being run by big money people, who are making fools of the voters. …and I am disgusted with the Republicans who pretend it is not happening.
check your spelling in your tagline ... LOL ...
Blackrock practices classic Fascism. Teams up with fedgov to force social change in us plebes, while making giant piles of cash via their monoploies.
Mussolini would be proud.
McCain-Finegold is killing us.
It’s sad when real investigative reporting becomes branded as conspiratorial, mean spirited, dis-information and gets censored and those reporters fired.
O’Keefe is one of the few folks who is actually playing the “watchdog” role, while the rest of the MSM is merely in the advertising/sales business. What they call news is mostly advertising, corporate and political, wrapped up as news.
“When they call the roll in the Senate, the Senators do not know whether to answer ‘Present’ or ‘Not Guilty’.” – Theodore Roosevelt
I’ve worked for companies that donate just to get a 15-minute slice of the politico’s time. Just to spew out their bullet points and then walk away.
This is not pay for play. Quid pro Quo (whatever).
$10K is chicken feed and no senator is that cheap.
The big money does not show up on any books. Why would anyone think it would.
